If more items (namely those needed to describe frames) were added to the 
"/proc/speakup" tree, you could define some frames, and save the new 
"/proc/speakup" values somewhere.  Perhaps, there could even be a little 
utility that takes these values and turns them into a file, say 
"/etc/speakup.conf", that yould load during bootup, or in 
"/etc/profile", or whatever.
